Qutb Shahi dynasty of Golconda
The Qutb Shahi dynasty is a Twelver Shi'i Muslim Turkoman dynasty, purportedly related to the Kara Koyunlu dynasty of Turkmenistan, that initially patronizes Persianate culture.
Its members are collectively called the Qutub Shahis andare the ruling family of the kingdom of Golkonda in modern-day India.
The Golconda sultanate is constantly in conflict with the Adil Shahis and Nizam Shahis.
In 1636, Shah Jahan forces the Qutb Shahis to recognize Mughal suzerainty, which lasts until 1687 when the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb conquers the Golcondan sultanate.
